The grave my little cottage is,
Where "Keeping house" for thee
I make my parlor orderly
And lay the marble tea.
(The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson)
More Quotes from Emily Dickinson:
The healed Heart shows its shallow scarWith confidential moan --
Not mended by Mortality
Are Fabrics truly torn --
To go its convalescent way
So shameless is to see
More genuine were Perfidy
Than such Fidelity.
Emily Dickinson
Maimed -- was I -- yet not by Venture --
Stone of stolid Boy --
Nor a Sportsman's Peradventure --
Who mine Enemy?
Emily Dickinson
And Spirit turned unto the Dust
"Old Friend, thou knowest me,"
And Time went out to tell the News
And met Eternity.
Emily Dickinson
The abdication of Belief Makes the Behavior small Better an ignis fatuus Than no illume at all.
Emily Dickinson
Garrisoned no Soul can be
In the Front of Trouble --
Love is one, not aggregate --
Nor is Dying double --
Emily Dickinson
Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul - and sings the tunes without the words - and never stops at all.
